Abstract:

A retrospective analysis of Department of Veterans Affairs automated inpatient and outpatient records was performed for 3945 patients who underwent lower extremity amputation surgery due to peripheral vascular disease during fiscal year 1991. Demographic and clinical data were collected from reviewing patient database information for all Department of Veterans Affairs Hospitals nationwide. Patients were identified from the Physicians' Current Procedural Terminology codes for lower extremity amputations, and then divided into three groups (above the knee, below the knee, and foot and ankle) bas

Abstract:

The diabetic foot is a common complication of diabetes. According to the latest guideline on the management of diabetic foot (2018) from the Ministry of Health, it was suggested that primary care clinics develop foot protection teams to reduce hospital admissions, length of stay, and the amputation rate. However, there are barriers to establishing these teams. This research aimed to explore the current workflow for managing diabetic foot in primary care clinics in Kuantan. A purposive sample of 12 healthcare professionals was selected for this qualitative research project from four Kuantan pri

Abstract:

Diabetic foot ulcer is a common and debilitating complication of diabetes. Often this is preventable by regular screening and addressing risk factors such as regular podiatry, good foot wear and early consultation with health care professionals. General measures such as good glycaemic control, prevention of cardiovascular risk factors and prevention of deformity should be aimed during the early stages of the disease. Diabetic subjects should be encouraged to actively participate in their foot care. Prevention of foot ulcers will reduce the rate of amputation, which is common in diabetic subjec

The current healthcare ecosystem, which is centered on the treatment of established foot disease, often fails to adequately control key reversible risk factors to prevent diabetic foot ulcers leading to unacceptable high foot disease amputation rate, 40% recurrence of ulcers rate in the first year, and high hospital admissions.

The aim of this study is to assess the awareness and practice of foot self-care in patients with type 2 diabetes and study the factors affecting foot self-care.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted amongst patients of type-2 diabetes attending the diabetic clinics in primary healthcare centers under Duba

Abstract:

Context: The global burden of diabetes is steadily rising with a parallel increase in related complications. Individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes need assistance in learning, mastering, and sustaining complex self-care practices that support healthy living and prevent the development of complications. Peer support is an effective and cost-friendly intervention in the self-management of chronic health conditions to not only enhance self-care practices among diabetic patients but also prevent complications. Despite numerous literature showing evidence that peer support has benefi

Recently, a number of states have expanded Medicaid coverage as part of the affordable care act, although it is unclear how this expansion impacts the ability of these patients to obtain access to orthopaedic surgeons. We questioned whether Medicaid patients face additional barriers to care for treatment of ankle sprains, an extremely common athletic injury. Our goal was to determine whe

Abstract:

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to abnormalities in insulin secretion and insulin action. One of the complications of diabetes mellitus is problems with the feet which are usually called diabetic feet. Diabetic feet that are not properly cared for will easily become injured and will quickly develop into foot ulcers. People who suffer from diabetes mellitus are at higher risk of experiencing foot problems due to reduced local pain sensation (neuropathy), which makes sufferers unaware of and often ignore the injur

Abstract:

People with diabetes and peripheral vascular diseases are at an increased risk for lower limb amputations. These amputations can have a significant impact on quality of life and overall health. In primary health care, diabetes management is comprehensive but there remains a care gap in publicly-funded foot care that can provide an upstream and preventative approach to lower limb preservation. This care gap is particularly pronounced for vulnerable populations in the community, particularly Indigenous and under/precariously-housed people.
